HP Instant Capacity User's Guide for Version 9.x

5.4 Temporary Capacity and Virtual Partitions
If temporary capacity is being consumed in any virtual partition environment (previously
authorized with icapmodify -a n -t), deactivating a core with the vparmodify -d
command temporarily reduces the consumption of temporary capacity, although there may be
a delay of up to 30 minutes for the consumption of temporary capacity to cease. A subsequent
core activation using the vparmodify -a command increases consumption of temporary
capacity, if the activation results in more active cores than available core usage rights.
Use the icapmodify -d command to immediately decrease or cease the use of temporary
capacity. It is not necessary to use the -t option with the -d option. Use the icapmodify -a -t
command to resume temporary capacity consumption.
The following is an example of the output from an icapstatus command on a partitionable
system containing vPars.
